Chapter 539: Chapter 539
Only the mission can ensure that the Master of the World does not turn hostile.
If they are unwilling, they will attack the World Core, forcing the Master of the World to open the channel. Then naturally, it will be severed, losing the chance to gain an advantage in the Otherworld, and their prospects will abruptly end.
What they seek is the World Core of the Otherworld.
The Master of the Tree-man Mini World is willing to offer the Earth Vein Extreme Point, quite a number, but talks have still not been finalized.
News has come that more than half of the Otherworld has already been conquered. Does this mean there are no hidden moves left?
"Can it be confirmed?"
This place is precisely where the core of the Great Lord Alliance resides, where the Mudmen are meeting, each representing a Great Lord occupying an Earth Vein Extreme Point.
"We’ve reached a point where a decision must be made." Someone spoke up.
"That kid will absolutely not hand over the World Core of the Otherworld to us, not a chance, even if it means ultimately mobilizing the Tree God and abandoning the suppression of the entrance," said the elder brother of the Master of the World.
"It seems we can only take a chance, abandon this Tree-man Mini World, and enter that Otherworld with the Heart of the Earth. If the Master of the World disagrees, what of it? We can occupy the World Core; once we do, we will not fear him even if he relies on the Tree-men," the old group leader finally spoke.
Other Lords rejoiced, confident as long as the Tree God does not appear.
"However, we cannot abandon the Earth Vein Extreme Point here."
"Without the Heart of the Earth, we can’t hold onto the Earth Vein Extreme Point here anyway, so why not go all out? ...!"
"No! Someone must remain to guard it. The situation has changed; the Tree God does not dare to act, so a guardian can protect the Earth Vein Extreme Point. When the Tree God moves, either we have occupied the World Core on the other side or there is a change, just right for a retreat, providing a way out.
Because I always feel, would they dare to invade our world without possessing a treasure comparable to the Tree God and Heart of the Earth?
This uncertainty makes me uneasy.
The words were said here, and there was no longer any opposition.
Yet no one wanted to speak, clearly indicating no one was willing to stay behind.
It’s not like the old days, where brotherly loyalty drove them forward selflessly; being a Great Lord for too long had created divides.
Had it not been for the Heart of the Earth, they might have split apart long ago.
"Alright then, I’ll stay behind. It was because of me in the first place that allowed that guy to exploit a loophole," someone finally spoke, allowing others to breathe a sigh of relief.
This was none other than the elder brother of the Master of the World, who had endured much frustration and hardship over the years.
Without the old group leader’s protection, he might not have survived this long. Dıscover more novels at noᴠelfire.net
Thus, the elder brother stayed behind to negotiate.
Other Great Lords’ true bodies began to move.
The true body long suppressing the Earth Vein Extreme Point moved for the first time.
The Heart of the Earth melded with the Earth Vein Extreme Point, forming tens of thousands of mudmen. The mudmen are undying; the closer to the Earth Vein Extreme Point, the Heart of the Earth, the stronger their combat power.
Recently, they have reached Fourth Realm Combat Power and are still immortal, which is why the Master of the World, even relying on the Tree God, could not reclaim the Earth Vein Extreme Point.
Lately, the aura of the Heart of the Earth, those mudmen have frequently appeared in the Space Channel.
So frequent were the occurrences that the Master of the World paid no attention.
It was unknowingly part of the old group leader’s foresight and worries.
Here, the Tree God suppresses the channel, ensuring no mistakes while allowing only exits, not entries.
On this day, some mudmen were moving around again, evidently gathering information.
The Master of the World did not notice a group of low-profile players nearby, carrying an unmistakable mudman aura on them.
That is, the aura of the Heart of the Earth.
Because they had brought the true form of the Heart of the Earth.
However, with the previous lessons learned and mudmen scouting all around, they smoothly entered the Space Channel.
Soon they arrived in another world.
Traversing worlds, indeed.
If the Heart of the Earth were in another world, the mudmen would turn into a clump of earth upon arrival, as the distance was too great.
Therefore, to use the Heart of the Earth here and unleash its strongest power, the true form of the Heart of the Earth must be brought over.
Before coming over, they had already absorbed several sources of Earth Vein Extreme Point to overload.
With such a treasure, even if they lack the capability to wield it by themselves, they can now harness its power for an extended period, enough to attack the World Core.
Of course, the premise is that there is no equivalent level Supreme Treasure here.
If there is, they would have to retreat.
At that time, even the Master of the World would be alerted and would not idly watch the Heart of the Earth fall into the Otherworld’s hands.
And here, they have already occupied more than half of the Otherworld’s land, forming a forest which would serve as their best retreat cover.
It’s a well-laid plan.
Also, they are confident, given the Heart of the Earth’s unique feature.
It can create over ten thousand mudmen clones; as long as one remains, the true body can transfer.
Thus, they will leave a few at the Space Channel’s side, able to transfer the true body at any time, allowing the Heart of the Earth to enter the channel, making it impossible for the other party to capture them, no matter how powerful their Supreme Treasure might be.
It was a well-thought-out plan.
But just as they arrived.
"Finally here, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time," suddenly the voice of Small Knife appeared.
"Not good!" The old group leader’s face changed drastically.
The surrounding ground rose up, transforming into Fourth Realm mudmen, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Most scattered and charged, while a few retreated towards the channel.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The earth quickly raised walls of soil.
